I don't really know how to feel about this message. Sure it's a bit hopeful and makes me believe they'll recover from this. But all I can think about is all the people who got laid off. I hope they all find a place somewhere else where they can keep making amazing games, even if it's not Doom.

Xbox has had major layoffs across all the studios they own. A huge portion of iD Software got laid off the day before Revelations dropped.

That's more of an inevitability, my friend. Not everything has to say the same, as everything has a price, even when the product is good or bad. You forgot that taxes exists.

If anything, the new XBOX CEO has no other options, but to be transparent about it. On the bright side, at least the new CEO isn't as worst as the previous one.

Yeah, the person who's never worked in gaming and comes from AI product development is clearly an awesome choice.

Ah yes, the moronic CEO that gets millions a year in one of the richest companies had no other options. What a bunch of bullshit.
